"It feels good. We all wake up, we train, we hang out, plays games, talk shit. That's the atmosphere we want to be in.

"We're not even really thinking about the fight. The fight is the end of it."

Tuivasa changes into sweat pants. He puts on a t-shirt, a long-sleeved shirt and a sweat suit and ties another t-shirt around his head. He’s only got a couple of kilos to shed before Saturday’s weigh-in and an afternoon run will get him closer to the 265-pound heavyweight limit.

A group of about six, including Tuivasa’s dad, head off up a hill towards Lake Claremont. It’s warm out. Tai takes the lead.

He sings along to the music from his headphones and says hi to every little old lady they pass on the way.

Runners drop off as they head around the lake and stop for the obligatory selfies on the water.

Back at the house, Tuivasa strips off his sweat-drenched t-shirt and does padwork and some light grappling.

There are four days before the fight, and the mood in camp is light. The jokes come easy, but there’s no escaping the fact that everyone’s away from their families. Tafa Facetimes his partner and 19-month old son. They’re back home in Queensland.

Nicknamed ‘The Juggernaut,’ Tafa takes out one earbud.

“Bro, why’s there so many Moana songs on this playlist?” he asks.

Tuivasa sings a couple of lines from the soundtrack. “I’ve got this whole album on here. It reminds me of my son when I run.”

Tuivasa’s son, Carter-Jesse, is 15 months old – he’s back in Sydney.

A cameraman arrives to shoot the next episode of Embedded. A couple of barbers follow him through the gate and set up in the back yard. A masseur puts up a table inside.

Former UFC heavyweight Soa ‘The Hulk’ Pelelei parks out front and sets up an old-school game console on the TV.

Pretty soon there’s a group outside getting fades and a few in the lounge playing Street Fighter while the guys doing heavy training get massages.

Hunt arrives after a long day of doing media, immediately jumps on the console and beats everyone willing to play him.

There’s a lot more laughter and far less tension than you’d imagine from a big group of fighters hunkered down in the same house for a week ahead of a globally televised MMA pay-per-view event.

Once training is done, there's no fight talk. There's plenty of smack-talk and banter though. And that's exactly the way they want it.
